A washed-up writer faces his last chance at redemption. With his career and life hanging by a thread, he must confront his past mistakes and risk everything in a final gamble for success.
Francisco De la Torre, a successful writer and martial arts expert, has fallen from grace after his divorce. His life is marked by fights, gambling, and toxic relationships. Everything changes when a friend finds the amulet his grandfather gave him – a silver coin that once inspired his writing. With the amulet back in his hands, Francisco regains his creativity and begins rebuilding his life. Then someone steals the coin and he must go on a mission to get it back – one kick at a time.
“’Hard Coin’ marks a milestone for Spanish action cinema, making it clear that this genre has a place on the global stage.” – Rubik Audiovisual
“With ‘Hard Coin,’ Serapio further establishes himself as a director and confirms that Spanish action cinema can compete at the highest level. Will ‘Hard Coin’ mark the beginning of a new era for action cinema in Spain? Only time will tell, but one thing is clear: the potential is there, and the world is taking notice.” – Accion Cine
“The story pays homage to the films of Chuck Norris, and Wong Kar-wai. There are allusions to Japanese manga at various points, not to mention that it’s a French-style comedy, and the main character is a clear homage to the roguish characters Jean-Paul Belmondo used to play.” – El blog de cine Espanol
